Hello,

Sorry if my earlier reply wasn't all that helpful.

A configuration management agent might not always need network connectivity
to carry out changes to a local system.
The desired state is downloaded from a server and then applied by a local
agent on the system (cfengine),
but the agent also saves states locally, in case the machine looses
connectivity. Normally the agent also
operates at intervals while the system is live (powered on), but it is also
possible it only applies the changes at boot-up.

True, audit should show what the cause behind changes to
/etc/network/interfaces.
